Great Excitement in Wales
about a Marvellous Cure.
Living Six Years without
Going to Bed.


Aberystwith, Cardiganshirc, Wales, i
heard related what seemed to me either
fabulous story or u marvellous cure.
The story was that poor sufferer who
had not been able TO lie down in bed for
six long years, given up 10 die by all the
Doctors, had been speedily cured by
some Patent Medicine. 1t was related
with the more implicit confidence from
the circumstance, as was said, that the
Vicar Of Llanrystyd was familiar with
the facts, and could vouch for tho truth
| of the report.
Having little curiosity to know how
such stories grow IN travelling, | took
| the liberty while at the village of Liam.
| rystyd TO call upon the Vicar, the Rev.
| T. Evans, and to enquire about this
wonderful cure. Though a total stran.
ger TO him, both he and his wife most
| graciously entertained me in hall
hours conversation, principally touching
the case Of Mr.. Pugh, in which they
seemed to take deep and sympathetic
interest, having been familiar with his
sufierings. and now rejoiced in what
seemed 10 them most remarkable cure.
He strongly vouched Mr.. VIM. Pugh's
character as a respectable farmer and
worthy of credit. left the venerable
| Vicar with a livc,ier sense of the happy
relation Of II pastor and people, feeling
that he was one who truly sympalhiscu
with all who are afflicted in mind, body
or estate.
On my return TO Aberystwitli, / was
impressed with desire to see Mr.. Pngh,
whose reputation stood 90 high. His
farm is called Pancom. Mawr, signifying
"above the dinglc," situated near the
summit of a smooth round hill, over
looking Il beautiful valley in which /.
situated the lovely ivymantled Church
of Llanddcinol. found Mr.. Pngh

intelligent face. Told him had heard

that / had come to learn from his own
lips, what there was of truth in the re
ports.
Mr.. Pugh remarked that his neigh
bOrs had taken kindly and symp-
athletic interest in his case for many
years, but of late their interest had been
greatly awakened by a happy change in
his condition. What you report as hav

The Vicar remarked that he presumed
his name had been connected with the
report from his having mentioned the
case to Mr.. John Thomas, a chemist OF
Llanon. He said Mr.. Pugh was former.

living in the parish of Llanddeinol.
